Hi Roger,
While Craig is quite right that it can be done relatively easily, the 
downside is that the earlier transmissions are an earlier and more 
primitive design and may not be as reliable.  They appear to need 
rebuilding more frequently for things like shifting issues, whereas the 65 
shifts much nicer and should last longer in service.  My advice would be to 
stick with 64 or 65 transmissions and you should be happier with the 
reliability and longevity.
